TLDR - There is far from consensus in the vilification of red meat in dietary guidelines. This article dives into the details of the ongoing schism.

Mainstream dietary recommendations now commonly advise people to minimize the intake of red meat for health and environmental reasons. Most recently, a major report issued by the EAT-Lancet Commission recommended a planetary reference diet mostly based on plants and with no or very low (14 g/d) consumption of red meat. We argue that claims about the health dangers of red meat are not only improbable in the light of our evolutionary history, they are far from being supported by robust scientific evidence.

Given this article, the research it references, the metabolic outcomes people are seeing on ketogenic diets, and historic diets - I'm comfortable maintaining a carnivore lifestyle.

Just to be clear, this doesn't mean everyone should do it, but it is a viable option for those who are interested in it.
